Jobs in Germany
Job Summary:
We are seeking a skilled backend engineer to join our team. While our core backend stack is built in Go, prior experience with Go is not a requirement. We welcome candidates with a strong foundation in any statically typed backend language (such as Java, Kotlin, Rust, or C#) who are enthusiastic about working with modern, scalable systems. If you are interested in developing within a Go-based environment, we will fully support your transition.
What You'll Do:
- Design and optimize distributed cloud systems for processing large-scale retail analytics data.
- Work primarily in Go (our main language), or leverage your expertise in another language while ramping up in Go with our support.
- Participate in our Follow-the-Sun operations model and rotating on-call schedules (no night shifts).
- Maintain and enhance our cloud infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform using tools like Cassandra, Elasticsearch, Kafka, PubSub, and RabbitMQ.
- Contribute to our Continuous Deployment environment using Terraform and Puppet.
- Focus on real problem-solving in a maker's culture with minimal overhead and meetings.
Who You Are:
- Experienced in backend or backend-adjacent development.
- Proficient in at least one statically typed language—Go, Java, Kotlin, Rust, C#, etc.
- Interested in (or curious about) working in a Go-based environment.
- Comfortable communicating in English.
Bonus Points For:
- Hands-on experience with technologies like Cassandra, Elasticsearch, Kafka, Terraform, or Puppet.
- Background in continuous deployment or Kanban workflows.
- DevOps or infrastructure automation experience.
